Concerning the “Signs of Resistance” article, what offfended me most was David’s reluctance to call graffiti “street art.” While a great number of graffiti artists would say they write just for the thrill of breaking the law, I know from experience that most graffiti artists write because of a common goal of artistic expression. To draw a distinction between legal street art and illegal street art by calling one a form of “resistance” greatly diminishes the artistic value of both forms.
